@newsmax @McConaughey How about they enforce the laws already in existence,&stop giving illegal gun dealers,murders,&gun offenders plea deals,suspended sentences,probation,&slaps on the wrists for high felonies? no consequences=no fear of breaking the laws. :(

@DemocraticWins Sure... Lets discuss who you democrats are rooting for.

@IsaacHayes3 Sir, you are wrong and you know it. That murderer was kicked off the track team for taking that knife to school. Then,he takes same knife to a track meet he had no place going to,with intent to murder his competitor. Then,he murdered him. Stop your race baiting. It belittles you.

@1zzyzyx1 Scott pelley is a partisan political propagandist. He bitched his way out of his career at 60 minutes. He never tried to give the incoming staff a chance. He did his bitch list and got canned.

@TedRall Ok. Where do we get the new 6.5-9 trillion dollars a year it would take to fund medicare,medicaid,social security & 'healthcare for all'?

@mtomasky Editorialists hiding under the guise of journalism have undermined 60 minutes for too long. A fresh staff looks like a new chance at unbiased news,again.

@tonyrigatonee @Houseofyogi The bears were paying to build the building by themselves. The bears wanted help with building city roads,train access,utilities, the basic things a government covers to accomodate a 60 million$+ a yr tax revenue & 4000 people+ employer cash cow.

[Yogi @Houseofyogi]

Chicago lost the Bears this week. A team that's been in the city since 1921.

They didn't lose them to a bigger market or a better deal. The Bears decided they'd rather be a tenant in Indiana than deal with Illinois for one more year.

Think about how badly you have to run a place for that to be the smart move.

They lost them for two reasons.

The people running Illinois would rather villainize a builder than keep one. And they're bad at their jobs.

In 2021 the Bears spent $197M on the old Arlington Park racetrack.

Before they could break ground, Cook County valued the empty lot at $192M (Bears said $60M). They were salivating at the chance to extort a building that didn't even exist yet.

That fight dragged on for years.

The Bears were ready to put $2B into the stadium. All they wanted was a promise the county wouldn't reassess them into oblivion, plus $855M for infrastructure everyone uses. Roads, transit, utilities. A $3B project, two thirds of it private money pouring into Illinois.

Springfield had since 2021 to get this done. They dragged it to the final night of session, passed it through the Senate at 3:39AM, and the House went home without voting.

So now it's all gone.

The funniest part? This started because Cook County tried to grab the tax early. They knew a built stadium would pay $53M a year. Now they get under $4M on a vacant lot. No jobs, no buildout, no new anything.

Congrats on fighting for scraps and losing the whole prize.

Pritzker: they're "an $8.5B valued business" that doesn't need propping up.

But be smart for a second. Almost every NFL city throws in public money for a stadium. Not charity. The return is real. Tourism, hotels, restaurants, jobs, game days, property tax on a huge development. The math works.

Indiana did the math. While Illinois sat on it for years, Indiana passed a bill in months, put up $1B, and took the team.

And the Bears took a worse deal to get there. In Illinois they were going to own their stadium. In Indiana they rent it from the state. A team that wanted to build its own home gave up ownership just to escape Chicago.

Nobody won but Indiana. The Bears lost their stadium. Illinois lost the team, the $2B, and $53M a year in taxes.

Pritzker after they left: "I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team."

There it is. "Billionaire-owned."

That's how Democrats talk about any business right before they run it out of town. Call them a billionaire, act like you're saving working families, take a victory lap while the tax base drives across the state line.

Meanwhile they're running the whole state into the ground. And you already know how this ends. You're living in it.

Pensions are $143B in the hole, worst in the country and not close. You pay $6,285 a year in property taxes, double the $2,969 national average, for a city that's $1.15B in the red. The mayor called its finances "the point of no return."

When you run things this badly, you sell what's left.

They leased the parking meters for 75 years to Morgan Stanley and a sovereign wealth fund in Abu Dhabi. Took $1.15B and burned through it in two years. The investors already made it all back, with 58 years left to collect.

Sold the Skyway. Sold the downtown garages. Every asset that made money, gone for one check.

But a fixed property tax rate for a team that's been here 106 years? That's "propping up billionaires."

Companies are leaving. Boeing for Virginia. Caterpillar for Texas. Citadel for Miami. In 2023 alone Illinois lost 56,000 people and $6B in income to other states. The ones who left earned a third more than the ones who moved in.

Indiana didn't outbid anyone. AAA credit, 16 years straight. A $676M surplus. Fourth-lowest debt per person in the country. They just weren't a disaster.

Illinois could have collected $53M a year. It chose zero. Ignore all the bad management but make sure to stick it to those evil, pesky billionaires.

@PramilaJayapal Mine's at 3.29$@ gallon. Looks like liberal states are price gouging again,for political propaganda.

[Gerald Crowe @JerryDCroweII]

@RepShontelBrown You never allowed them to answer your so called questions,as you basicly grandstanded like a clucking chicken. Fear is so embedded inside of you, you cannot function as an adult in congress. Luckily, there's another election for your seat coming up,as they always do.

[Gerald Crowe @JerryDCroweII]

@HowardKurtz From 1975 to now,60 minutes lost a lot of viewers. Add the defamation lawsuit judgements for falsifying videos,reports& stories and you realise the necessity to remove the partisan political operatives undermining true journalism. Weiss did exactly that.

[Gerald Crowe @JerryDCroweII]

@MikeLevin He's an editorialist,not a journalist. 60 minutes broke journalistic integrity and the laws by faking videos,reports&stories to commit political propaganda. They were sued,lost,& CBS paid out a fortune in restitution and fines. CBS cleaned house.

[Gerald Crowe @JerryDCroweII]

@TerryMoran No. 60 minutes lied and fabricated videos about people,interviews & news stories. 60 mins got CBS sued and lost on all counts.
